Influence of Gestation Delay and Predator’s Interference in Predator-Prey Interaction under Stochastic Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous experimental and theoretical studies suggest that predator’s interference in predator-prey relationship provides better descriptions of predator’s feeding over a range of predator-prey abundances. Also biological delays and environmental stochasticity play an important role to describe the system and its values. In this present study, I consider a Gaussian white-noise induced stochastic predator-prey model with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response and gestation delay. Stochastic stability is measured by second order moment terms by calculating the nonequilibrium fluctuation of the nondelayed system and Fourier transform technique depicts the fluctuation of stochastic stability by introducing time lag. Different dynamical behaviors for both situations have been illustrated numerically also.The biological implications of my analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically.

Strategy, compromise, and cheating in predator–prey games
Background: A prey’s optimal level of anti-predator behaviour depends on its hunger state and its assessment of danger in the environment. Similarly, a predator’s optimal attack behaviour depends on its own satiation level and its assessment of the risks and costs associated with hunting. The optimal behaviour of each depends on what the other is doing, resulting in a dynamic game. Assumptions:...
متن کاملThreshold harvesting policy and delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model
This paper deals with a delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a threshold harvesting policy. We study the equilibria of the system before and after the threshold. We show that the threshold harvesting can improve the undesirable behavior such as nonexistence of interior equilibria. The global analysis of the model as well as boundedness and permanence properties a...
متن کاملPrey Switching with a Linear Preference Trade-Off
In ecology, prey switching refers to a predator’s adaptive change of habitat or diet in response to prey abundance. In this paper, we study piecewise-smooth models of predator-prey interactions with a linear trade-off in a predator’s prey preference. We consider optimally foraging predators and derive a model for a 1 predator-2 prey interaction with a tilted switching manifold between the two s...
متن کاملPermanence, Periodicity and Extinction of a Delayed Biological System with Stage-Structured Preference for Predator
This study considers a delayed biological system of predator-prey interactions where the predator has stage-structured preference. It is assumed that the prey population has two stages: immature and mature. The predator population has different preference for the stage-structured prey. This type of behavior has been reported in Asecodes hispinarum and Microplitis mediator. By some lemmas and me...
متن کاملFunctional Responses with Predator Interference: Viable Alternatives to the Holling Type Ii Model
A predator’s per capita feeding rate on prey, or its functional response, provides a foundation for predator–prey theory. Since 1959, Holling’s prey-dependent Type II functional response, a model that is a function of prey abundance only, has served as the basis for a large literature on predator–prey theory. We present statistical evidence from 19 predator–prey systems that three predator-depe...
